ABOUT ME
There are always various tasks waiting to be done at our farm. So, surely there is a possibility to show your talents and discover new ones. We are open to teach but also to learn from our guests. Depending on the season, work mostly involves our fruit crop (apple, plum, cherry, wine). Cutting, planting, picking or processing. Next to that there is always some clearing up, weeding, fence-making or such things to do. Our farm is a young project, thus you have the possibility to part of it's construction.
We mainly renew old vinyards and orchards in the micro region of Grußbach/Hrušovany nad Jevišovkou. We work our own and leased land from the state and the municipality, for which they have no energy themselves.
Our goal is the renewal of a region which up until today suffers from the expulsion of it's former residents. We work together with local politicians and associations. We rely on the help of friends, family and neighbours. We try to use as few machines as possible and apply traditional techniques. Our housing situation is simple, but our house becomes comfortable with nice people spending evenings together cooking, making music or sharing stories in front of the fire place. We have bicylces with which you can make trips through the wonderful landscape or to historical sites close by. Also, since we live across the street of the railway station, it only takes short time to the beautiful towns Znojmo, Valtice or Mikulov.
